How to write a memorandum to the software chief?

Question

System administration

Good morning everyone.
Please tell me how to write a memorandum addressed to the gene. dira about the fact that the organization has unlicensed software such as AutoCAD and Photoshop and about the need to purchase licenses, etc. (i.e. so that I would have a piece of paper to cover my ass if that)
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The memorandum will become evidence proving not just intent, but also conspiracy. You yourself will subscribe to the fact that you not only knew about unlicensed software, realized its illegality and did not delete it (i.e., you were criminally inactive), but also entered into an agreement with the director ("group of persons").

Answer 2

Make a request and provide a quotation, but no paper. Write that an organization needs to purchase this and that at such and such a price in order to pounditcyclize, here are commercial offers. As already mentioned, do not admit on paper that you are using this software. And don't cover your ass anyway.

Answer 3

No way! No need. In no case.
Orally, only orally. If you need a "paper" - then without officialdom, signature, date ...
"I inform you that there are reasons to assume signs ..."

Answer 4

Papers like this don't help in any way.
If you really want to cover your ass, then you have only two
options: 1. Persuade you to buy software
2. Quit.
True, dismissal will also not help, in the event of a check, they will easily poke a finger in the surname and say "he set", and on this you will go in a common bunch.

Answer 5

must be said for sure! point out the consequences of using counterfeit software.
at the same time, draw up a budget and include it in costs.
management should understand how much it will cost.
Well, buy a little.
the rest that can only be translated into free software

Answer 6

very strange! Okay, I'll consult with lawyers and tell you about the result!

Answer 7

imagine. the director sits quietly. runs the firm. and then you come and say that he needs to sign and read the paper. that covers your ass. and the director doesn't like it when someone's ass affects his ass. the conclusion is simple. they will send you to look for another job with such requests

Answer 8

refer to the civil code of the Russian Federation and tell the general that he walks under the article. first check your job description (what is written there in the section duties and responsibilities). if this is your problem (read, according to the CI you answer) - the memorandum may well cover your ass if it at least contains a signature on its acceptance by the secretary or the director himself (in the sense of a copy), and after that it will be developed at least plan for the purchase of licensed software and the money in the budget for it. all of this will work if you can prove the fact of the beginning of the use before you came to this position. and it is necessary to break through this very purchase. I would also like to say that there may be consequences if during the investigation or verification it is possible to prove the fact of commercial (and not for personal purposes!) Use of software. so to cover up the priests, it would be good for you to inform your colleagues that the use of such software is illegal, because it violates the laws of the Russian Federation. It would also be good to draw up official approval lists of software used in the organization and sign it with the gene of the world (only licensed programs should be in this list). everything else, like I don’t know anything :) we did it in the company like this: access to unlicensed software was provided at our own risk only to the heads of individual departments, who by no means could do without it (then we still bought a couple of licenses). used in the organization and signed by the gene of the world (only licensed programs should be on this list). everything else, like I don’t know anything :) we did it in the company like this: access to unlicensed software was provided at our own risk only to the heads of individual departments, who by no means could do without it (then we still bought a couple of licenses). used in the organization and signed by the gene of the world (only licensed programs should be on this list). everything else, like I don’t know anything :) we did it in the company like this: access to unlicensed software was provided at our own risk only to the heads of individual departments, who by no means could do without it (then we still bought a couple of licenses).
if it is the problem of the gene of the world, still inform him that this is his problem.
